Saint Dismas

Saint Dismas (died 30 AD) was one of the two criminals crucified alongside Jesus, the other being Gestas. Gestas reviled Jesus, telling him to save himself and both of the criminals, but Dismas rebuked Gestas and said that both of the criminals had been condemned justly, but that Jesus had done nothing criminal. Dismas then asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom, and Jesus promised Dismas that he would go to heaven with him. Dismas is officially venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church.
